Abstract The all-optical synchronization system implemented in the European X-ray free-electron laser (EuXFEL) is to receive an upgrade. The modifications are intended to allow operation with consistently high accuracy in a 1 pC mode, which is required for various user experiments. The lower charges, e.g. a factor of 20, lead to a reduced signal strength at the pickups and thus to a decreased resolution. A significant potential for improvement has been identified in a modified pickup structure and transmission network, which provide the transient voltage signal to subsequent parts of the synchronization system. One solution for a broadband pickup structure with short signal paths, large active surfaces and minimum aperture diameter could be achieved by connecting rod-shaped pickups to a combination network on a printed circuit board, which will be mounted in the beamline. In this contribution the proposed design is introduced and analyzed by electromagnetic field simulations.
